A Letter to Our Parents


To our lovely Kappa Delta parents:

            I hope that this letter finds you in good health and that your year is going well.  I'll start with a congratulation to our wonderful Kappa Delta sisters on our 81 new members.  We were so excited to welcome them into our sisterhood on Bid Day with a baseball theme featuring slogans such as “There’s No Place Like Home” and “Rounding Third and Headed for Home”. We cheered the new members in and after taking part in the delicious ballpark themed food provided by the house's own Chef Nancy, we relocated for a sisterhood event at Champions.  At Champions all the girls took part in ice breaking games, bonding activities, and all kinds of sporty activities.  Overall, it was a great day.
            The Epsilon Omega chapter of Kappa Delta has also been proud to celebrate International Woman’s Friendship Month during the month of September.  The sisters had a bake sale, gave flowers to Women Faculty, hosted an ice cream social and trunk show, hosted a barbecue and all-around celebrated friendship among women everywhere.
            Furthermore, along with our successful August and September events, we have many more to come.  Coming up the first weekend in October is Kappa Delta's Parents’ Weekend.  Our VP Public Relations Ellen Jaudon has been hard at work planning a fun, exciting weekend – so be sure to come by.  Friday October 4th, from 5:00pm – 8:00 pm, the KD House will be open for tours, snacks, and meeting other parents. Saturday October 5th, from 9:30am - 12:30pm, will be a tailgate at Keeneland.  Finally, Sunday will be brunch at the KD House from 9:00am – 11:00am.  Parents are welcome to come to any and all of these events!
            Also in October, Kappa Delta and Beta Theta Pi will be holding their 2nd annual Bring It On Philanthropy event. It takes place Wednesday October 9th and will involve cheerleading routines from many paired sororities and fraternities – and even a routine from some of our very own KD ladies paired up with Beta Theta Pi.  Proceeds raised from Bring It On will go to Kappa Delta's local Philanthropy, The Nest, and also to the Violence Intervention Prevention Center at the University of Kentucky. The Nest is our local philanthropy that provides counseling, recovery, and care services for women, children, and families in the Lexington area and we are delighted we were able to help their cause. Last year Bring It On raised $8,929.26, so we look forward to yet another successful event this year!
            Other events to come are our White Rose celebration on Saturday October 11th and new member Initiation on Sunday October 13th. (Don't forget that Kappa Delta Alumnae are more than welcome to attend initiation.) We also have Founder's Day on October 23rd and many more date parties and sisterhood events to come!  We'll do our best to keep you updated.

            In conclusion, we would like to thank you for all that you have done for our chapter and we look forward to seeing you at our future events. 

AOT,
